在美国能进入一流投资银行、管理咨询公司、律师事务所这类公司的人就是精英阶层,收入是全美家庭的前10%,薪水是从事其他工作毕业生的2-4倍。 虽然在理论上所有人都可以参加竞争,但实际上,仍然只有少数表现出与特权身份有关的高地位符号的人才能进入这些利润丰厚、令人艳羡的...
评分又是一年校招季。9月—11月,沙场“秋”点兵。 “神仙打架,凡人遭殃”。当我们谈论不平等时,我们在谈论什么?有位应用数学专业的室友向来犀利,她一言以蔽之,“就是也想要”。招聘的竞技场,要不起的好工作还好吗? 美国西北大学学者劳伦·A·里韦拉的《出身:不平等的选拔...
评分大多数美国人认为努力工作,而不是高贵的血统,是成功的关键。教科书、报纸、小说中充斥着霍雷肖·阿尔杰(Horatio Alger)笔下的故事,即个人凭借强大的动力和坚韧最终跻身上流社会。这些故事,无论聚焦于沃伦·巴菲特(Warren Buffett)的传奇经历,还是《风雨哈佛路》(Home...

Americans are taught to believe that upward mobility is possible for anyone who is willing to work hard, regardless of their social status, yet it is often those from affluent backgrounds who land the best jobs. Pedigree takes readers behind the closed doors of top-tier investment banks, consulting firms, and law firms to reveal the truth about who really gets hired for the nation's highest-paying entry-level jobs, who doesn’t, and why.
Drawing on scores of in-depth interviews as well as firsthand observation of hiring practices at some of America’s most prestigious firms, Lauren Rivera shows how, at every step of the hiring process, the ways that employers define and evaluate merit are strongly skewed to favor job applicants from economically privileged backgrounds. She reveals how decision makers draw from ideas about talent—what it is, what best signals it, and who does (and does not) have it—that are deeply rooted in social class. Displaying the "right stuff" that elite employers are looking for entails considerable amounts of economic, social, and cultural resources on the part of the applicants and their parents.
Challenging our most cherished beliefs about college as a great equalizer and the job market as a level playing field, Pedigree exposes the class biases built into American notions about the best and the brightest, and shows how social status plays a significant role in determining who reaches the top of the economic ladder.
这是我取过最俗套的标题了:哈佛社会学家教你进顶级投行/咨询/律所。书是值得一看的,看看这些EPS firms要招什么人、怎么招以及背后的企业文化。
评分感觉是纯发议论啊,举的例子没太大说服力,而且明显是蹦着早已定下的主题去的;好多列举的数据也没有出处,你说什么就是什么吧。其实对于pedigree英国人已经开始动摇了,美国人还不愿意承认,而我大天朝早就认识到了,从高考是不是寒门唯一的出路到各种二代就能看出来。没啥科学性,弃了。
评分Lauren Rivera herself was an elite student who got bachelor degree in Yale and master & PhD degree in Harvard. This book revealed a lot of facts about EPS firms' recruiting and selecting process. However, it does not dig out deeply the reason behind those facts. The writing is a bit lengthy and jumbled.
